new animal collective

I know its way too early for this, and I already consciously decided that listening to the live Merriweather songs previous to the studio releases was a mistake and ruined a bit of the fun, but I have gotten hold of some songs that really excite me because they show Animal Collective taking on a much more challenging electronic initiative than their previous material -- which I didn't think was possible, but they seem to have a way of mastering their uncommon sounds into something so new and unique.
